Chapter 9 : Capture Again

The fight finally ended in the victory of Kurapika, who killed Uvogin thanks to his Hatsu.

After leaving James, Gon, Killua, and Leorio pursued the phantom Troupe, while Gon used his hunter license to make money and gather information about the Troupe.

James who stayed in his room waited several hours before several trucks stopped in front of the hotel, several men got out of the truck and entered the hotel, but James had already warned the front desk and he had already booked more than 80% of the hotel, the staff let the men go up to James' suite.

They entered and then James showed them the auction items, they transported all the auction items in their trucks before leaving, completely emptying the suite.

They even got rid of the corpse in the bathtub.

A few minutes later the landline phone in James' room rang and after picking it up he heard Milluki's voice.

"I found a buyer willing to pay 324 billion for the lot."

"You're fast, this buyer's not afraid of mob retaliation, it looks like."

"It's none of your business, I'll take my 20% commission and deposit the money tomorrow in the bank account you told me, I fulfilled my contract on this goodbye."

"Wait a minute, tell me, can you find me someone who can get me TNT?"

. . . . . . .

Time passed quickly and James left his hotel only once to go out and buy a cell phone and several suits.

Since he was in this world he had been wearing the same clothes and it was starting to get really annoying, he was also tired of communicating with the landline phone in his room.

He took a good bath and cut his hair carefully, although SW embodied the travelers in a kind of copy of the body, the body generally kept the physical characteristics of the travelers, james who hadn't cut his hair for almost two years, now had long hair that already reached his shoulders and a growing beard.

He shortened his hair as much as possible and then shaved before putting on a beautiful black suit and black shoes, despite the quality of the clothes, he was extremely comfortable and suited for combat, James congratulated the fashion designers of this world in a low voice before putting his phone and his things such as his bank card in his pocket.

But strangely, before leaving the room, he inscribed a circle on a wall of the living room. and left the hotel.

Gon, Killua and Leorio head to the location where two Phantom Troupe members were spotted. Arriving at the area, the trio watch Machi and Nobunaga at a distance.

The Spiders discuss what could have happened to their comrade Uvogin while planning their next move.

The two bystanders who found the Spiders receive a sum of money from Killua and then runoff. Machi and Nobunaga wonder if Uvo is dead or not.

Killua explains to Leorio why it's impossible for them to catch two Troupe members, recalling something that his father said when he fought one.

He complained that the price wasn't enough as Killua says that is the greatest compliment a target can get, his Dad telling them to stay away from the Troupe.

On top of that there was the reminder of James, who made them understand the difference in strength between them and the members of the Troupe.

He continues by saying the Troupe isn't worried to show themselves in public, acting as bait to trap their prey. Machi and Nobunaga are aware someone's watching them, making them think it is Kurapika or James and Nobunaga will stick to the rules that their boss told them to capture and bring the chain user and the "thief" back, dead or alive.

The two begin to have a heated conversation, while the three feel the atmosphere changing, wondering if they've been noticed, but Killua is confident they weren't.

Leorio explains he can't use Zetsu, but Killua believes that it will attract more attention.

He also thinks their opponents are not trying to sense Nen, instead they are trying to tell which people are suspicious around them.

Machi and Nobunaga make their move and the three start to plan, deciding Gon and Killua will tail them.

If they are spotted, they will stop and escape; if further pursuit is impossible for any other reason, they will give up. Killua advises Gon, giving him a signal through his phone and if the Spiders split up, they will follow Machi, while Leorio will join Zepile to help him in the auction.

The tailing starts when Nobunaga and Machi move, Gon and Killua following with great caution.

The two realize they are being followed and are quite impressed with their skills since they can't sense a thing. 

Machi and Nobunaga stop in the middle of a deserted place, surrounded by abandoned buildings, acknowledging the ones following them can't be the Chain user since he assumes that he works alone considering he works for the Nostrade family, yet he fought Uvogin alone.

The Mafia hasn't made a move, meaning they would have used Uvogin against them, dead or alive. If he was dead, then the news would have spread.

Since nothing has happened, Nobunaga thinks the chain user killed Uvogin without reporting to the Mafia and used revenge as a motive. Machi rejects that and believes the ones following them have some connection with the chain user.
